DYI plankton harvester

This could be used for collecting plankton of pretty much any size, from brine shrimp down to small strain rotifers. Cut a piece of 2-4 inch diameter PVC to a length of about 6 inches long. Place a piece of plankton cloth of the desired size over one end of the PVC. Place a PVC coupling the same diameter as the 6 inch piece over the end with the plankton cloth. Now with a scoop you can strain your culture through this and then feed your tank. Total cost will depend on the size of plankton cost but the PVC is only a couple bucks. This is also useful for straining thawed frozen foods. Ill have to figure out how to post pics.

What is plankton cloth? Where do you get it? Cut off the hem of old wedding dress I found in the attic. (KIDDING!!!! just kidding Ruth)

We should have a workshop up here so we can get one order of stuff and then all try our hand at making these.

Plankton cloth can be ordered from Florida aqua farms, its a fine mess fabric that comes in sizes down to tens of microns.

much cheaper with the time I have for extra work for my self these days I cheat and just bought the pre made Seives.

Yeah I picked up 5-4" acrylic cone tops on ebay for 1.74 each, just need to get some 4" acrylic pipe and I'm going to make some reactors.
